She was probably texting, that’s what they do.

My GPS once told me to take a right turn, down a steep, heavily wooded hillside (no road or trail on the hillside). I didn't take that turn. Instead, I found a spot to stop, then reached in the back for the road atlas.

Knucklehead

been there. late on new off ramp, it was 1/4 off on turn. But I was smart enough to see it was wrong.

Needs to a just a little common sense

Asian?

You can't fix stupid

Blindly following the gps like this is analogous to the left blindly following their msm...

My dad intentionally tried something similar in a 1950's IH Binder - He had it on good authority that the wheel base width of the Travelall, matched up to the width of train tracks and would literally, ride like it was on rails... It did not. Alcohol may have been a factor

That’s funny?

Probably also a bad judge of character.

Regardless of gps directions....there is NO time a motor vehicle operator should be entering a railroad right of way. What is wrong with people? Absolute public safety risk - pull that persons license to drive

...and she did it?

Okay, so her GPS screwed up, but at what point do you decide it might be stupid to make a turn and drive on a railway track?

GPS steered me to a dead end, I stopped, did a U turn then went around to the other side of the dead end. Must be nice not to keep going when you see something sketchy.

why is my app showing all these lines crossing over this unusually rough road?

That's like Liberals being led by the Liberal media lol.

And I’m like.....ohhhh kayyy so you got your license in Pennsylvania? Oh dear I’m soo sorry, I think the people of Pennsylvania deserve better teachers, or you guys need better healthcare, some kind of help, your Pennsylvania for Christ sake your a union state, wtf?

Oh boy! How long does it take for your brain to register that the GPS is taking you the wrong way? Driving on railroad tracks?

😳😞😞

Technology is reducing IQ at an alarming rate.

Certain people should not be allowed to drive

They didn’t need to add the “her” part. We knew.

Common sense isn't very common any more.
